8 Extended chemical reaction models» Homogeneous chemistry (volatile combustion): (1) C n H m + n/2 O 2 n CO + m/2 H 2 (2) C n H m + n H 2 O n CO + (m/2 +n) H 2 (3) H 2 + ½ O 2 H 2 O (4) CO + H 2 O CO 2 + H 2» implementation of additional reactions and considering equilibrium reactions enables accounting for chemical effects of specifically high O 2 and CO 2 levels in the oxidizing atmosphere during oxy-fuel combustion» including reverse reaction of (3) is particularly required for correct prediction of local flame temperatures since equilibrium is shifted towards educts in high temperature flames 8

9 Extended chemical reaction models» Heterogeneous chemistry (char burnout): (1) C + ½ O 2 CO (char oxidation) (2) C + CO 2 2 CO (Boudouard reaction) (3) C + H 2 O CO + H 2 (water-gas-shift reaction)» gasification reactions (2) and (3) may have major impact in O 2 -lean regions due to higher partial pressures of CO 2 and H 2 O compared to conventional air-firing» at ambient pressure and typical combustion temperatures the reactions (2) and (3) may be considered irreversible since the equilibrium is shifted towards the product side 9
